Kara you chose an amazing place to get married. I visited there in May and it took my breath away. I love your postings also they are great, very detailed and inspiring.

Thanks! It's hard to believe that it's only a little over two months away. I feel like there is so much for me to do still! My planner has done so much, all I really need to do is show up, but I still feel as if there are loose ends to tie up. We're really excited about having the ceremony at the hacienda. I've never been...yes, I selected site unseen...but it came with a great recommendation so we'll see! Did you consider it as a location for your big day?

Anywho...your posts are pretty great as well and I think I commented already but your engagement photos are awesome!!!

Congratulations! I am also considering HSA as a wedding venue and am planning a scouting trip in March 2009.

What are you doing in terms of music? Is the patio the same place where the dancing occurs? What time is your ceremony and time does your reception end?

Again congratulations!

Well, we have hired a trio for the ceremony music but since it's just he and I for the wedding we are adding all of our favorite songs to our ipod for dinner music. We are having our ceremony in the chapel but I'm not sure where the dancing is, since it's just he and I. We are planning to start the ceremony around 4:30 but my planner asked me to be flexible because our photographer wants to get the best light for photos. So we'll see.

Sorry that I haven't been of much help but I will definitely have lots to share once we get back.

You're married, YAY!!! We wanna see pics! Ok, actually, i want to hear your input on the honeymoon spot, i am looking into that AMAZING location for our ceremony next Feb! I'd love to talk with you more about the details as we will hopefully book our scouting trip next week for this Jan, so excited!!! Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you and CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Hi,

I've been away for awhile and decided to check back in. How are things going with your wedding planning? I've posted a review of my wedding and included the link to my wedding photos. Unfortunately, I'm unable to post my images to the forum until the magazine our wedding is featured in comes out. Everyone on the site was so helpful during our planning process so I want to share all of "our" hard work! Any who, let me know if I can be of any assistance. We had a fantastic time and HSA was more than we could have imagined. Verana was amazing as well, but rural. If you're looking for a beach location you should go with another option as it sits up in the mountains and beach is about a 20 minute walk. If you book there go with either their Casa Chica or the Stone House. They are the only ones with A/C. Trust me on this one!
